Does the building come with it or do you have to remove everything from the building?
Jeez! You guys really have the funds to at least 'contemplate' bidding on something like this?
My own views would be to build a solar farm first then add miners

Well my opinion is that nobody would invest in a solar system of 20MW just to mine with a 286PH worth of hash rate, the cost of solar arrays alone would be about 3$ per watt, say he gets it for 2$ given the size of the system, so roughly 2 million dollars per MW, or 20M for the whole system, if he is going to go on-grid to not have to deal with batteries, he will need about a 5 times larger system, it just can't work.
Well Solar in the correct place with government incentives makes some sense.
It must always be grid tied. As batteries are too costly.
A 20 mega watt setup. which provides 3.33 mega watt 24/7/365 via grid tie in.
Can be built for 10-12 million. That would be the panels and inverters only.
Labor here in NJ would be 100-200k. so lets say 12.5 million
But.
you need many acres of good land to do this. Say 120-150 acres due to set back.
you need a building with lots of fans to cool the equipment.
You also need a power grid to tie into that can handle 20 megawatt at peak
Lastly you need to show the power company you need. 3.33 megawatts 24/7/365
The only way to show you need 3.33 megawatts is to setup a mine that uses 3.33 megawatts
that is 2.222 kwatt per s17pro. or. 1500 s17pro. would do the load. you need to do it for 6 months.
so buy 1500 s17pro at 1200 each =
around 2 mill
mine for 6 months at maybe 12 cents here in NJ
that is 14398560 kwatts used or 1.73 million
so now. six months in
you purchased the land at 1 million if you are lucky
you went with. containers say 10 ant box n5 about 400,000
you grabbed the s17pros 2 million
you paid power for 6 months say 2 million
that is 5.4 million
add in hookup to the grid you could be close to .6 million
some land prep and development. and you are six months and 6 million in.
you have your 1500 s17 pros
you have your 10 ant box 5
and you can now build the array say it takes 3 months.
so add 1 million for 3 months more grid power. you are up to 7 million.
you have mined with 79500th say 80ph for nine months. which is 2,000,000 in coin
you now get to put down 12 mill maybe 13 mill to do the solar build
so after 9 months you have 2,000,000 in coin
and 1500 s17 pros
and 10 ant box filled with them
along with the 20 mega watt field that yields 3.33 mega watts.
you laid out about 19 to 21 million
you get 26% back federal so 5.46 million fed
so drop the 21 to 15.5 take off 2 for the coins you have and you are at 13.5 take 9% off for NJ rebate about 1.9 million
and you are down to 13.5-1.9 = 11.6 million
you can mine for free
well maintenance of 30 year insured gear. the solar array.
there were more rebates but with covid-19. they could be killed off.
This deal looked better last year before covid-19
